Literally just passed one 4 hours ago. The pain is worse than childbirth. I do hope I don't have to endure this again!

I'm a grown man, I was laying on my right side in bed, what put me in a painful panic was a excruciating pain on my right abdomen, wrap around to the right side lower back, I almost teared up in front of my gf, I was left in a fetus position, as I struggle to even get on my knees, the fear of not knowing why you're suffering through pain worst than child birth is ever frightening, I was not sure what I was suffering from and called an ambulance, minutes go by and I gather the strength to get on my feet but was stuck in a hunch position due to the pain as I slowly felt the pain travel from abdomen down to my bladder area, then the pain finally subsided, I decided to called back the ambulance to cancel and see if any worst symptoms will arise, later that day I went to take a piss, what look like half the size of a penny and is dark with sharp edges burst out through my urine and freaked me out but gave some relief, I finally knew it was kidney stone I have dedicated my life to drinking more water

My mom went through it, she had extreme pain the whole week yet still went to her job, until she couldn't take it and went to the ER. Turns out the kidney stone already came out but the pain from the sharp kidney stone was causing extreme pain. shes so strong.

Kidney stones are the story of my life since 1978. A total of 19 times I have battled them, and just last month (May 2021) I was told I have a tiny one in my left kidney.

Lord I just had my first one this past Wednesday in the early morning. I thought I was dying. I didn’t know why all of a sudden I was having this pain on my lower left side. I had to go to the ER immediately. After a cat-scan was done and they told me I had a kidney stone. Next morning I pissed it out and it was so tiny. Almost looked like a small pebble with spikes on it. Luckily it came out after just a day.

[macmarles]

I have one tiny one smaller than a grain of sand and it causes pain to make me black out every time my meds wear off. I have other chronic conditions and the meds mess up my sensitive gut, so tired of this!

[SanilJadhav]

Came here from Institute of Human Anatomy's video on Kidney stones, drank a whole jug full of water after that video
I hope I don't get this shit ever in my lifetime lol

Just passed my second times last week after 3 years. I literally cant sleep just moving around searching for best position and ofc drink a LOT of water until i just sleep from exhausted

The ER diagnosed a 12mm stone lodged in the ureter, as “gas”, twice within 30 days. Where it lay undiscovered, FOR 12 YEARS. During which time the meaty inside of that kidney, was dissolved away, resulting in a hollow floppy shell three times normal size. Statute of limitation, and the incompetents in the ER have gotten away with it. My hollow kidney is now a kidney stone nursery, requiring surgery to clear out every year.
